Survivor: Redemption Island
 
So there's the redemption island twist, but there's another twist. The other twist is:

Spoiler:

It's Rob vs Russell

I'm so ****ing fed up of Russell. I'm rooting for Rob to win of the two.


http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/ <--cast etc can be seen there (but be warned the twist is in there too.)

Not looking great IMO...

Marc 15-01-2011 11:33 AM

Awesome! I hope there aren't too many old on one team or too many young and athletic on the other. I want it all equal please. Hated old vs. new

Marc 15-01-2011 11:35 AM

I have found a YouTube channel with all the bios of the new cast!

I'm still currently looking through them all, looks like we have some generic characters

Captain.Remy 15-01-2011 11:38 AM

CBS wants Russell to win so badly, it's out of control. But I don't give a shit, Russell is the best so I'm rooting for him.

He will own all of the other players who seem to be boring and generic. A boring nice cute All-American cast. Yawn.

Marc 15-01-2011 11:58 AM

I personally don't see how Russell can go far in this game. I was shocked he got so far in series 20. Yes maybe people will see him as a strategic player and want to rid his coat tails but seriously, they would all be seriously stupid not to get rid of him early. If he makes the final, highly massively epicly unlikely, he will win!

I would love somebody to play him, like Parvati did in S20 (with the double idol)

I really want a strategic player to win over an athletic person who wins all the immunities.

Marc 15-01-2011 12:02 PM

Start date 16th February.

The producers will not accept him eliminated before final 5. They know he's the star of the show. They won't let that happen.

Marc 15-01-2011 03:38 PM

Well when he goes to Redemption Island he'll win the 1-on-1

BB4LIFE_SD 16-01-2011 03:38 AM

I started hating Russell on Samoa. I hated him even more on Heroes vs. Villains, so there's a pretty good chance that I'll hate him even more on Survivor: Redemption Island. I can't wait.

Corkie 16-01-2011 04:44 PM

It's just silly, it's obv they only invented redemption island incase Russle or Rob got voted off early. It could have worked without them.
The past 4 seasons 3 have had Russel in.
That's just stupid.
Jeff Probst said "If you're not happy for Russel coming back then you're not a true survivor fan"
I mustn't be a survivor fan, despite watching most seasons then.

It didn't work for Guatamala so why would it work this time?

Ah we'll see what happens. It might surprise me. At least The new series of Amazing Race: Unfinished Buisness looks good.

LemonJam 16-01-2011 05:21 PM

I agree. They seem to have just put a bunch of lackluster characters in and shoved in two people we're sick of (moreso Russell than Rob)

Why can't they just produce a good solid cast like Survivor China or Panama and not just shove in what we've already seen?

LemonJam 16-01-2011 05:23 PM

Oh and from what I've seen, David ftw.

If they don't vote him off first then they're thick or they are so stupid to think they can use him to get further in the game.

I don't see why he is back. Everyone knows he backstabs everyone just to get to the prize. :conf:

BBfanUSA 16-01-2011 09:38 PM

Okay Can Someone tie the producers to chairs and force them to watch Russell?

GypsyGoth 16-01-2011 10:09 PM

Thanks for the info LJ and the cast videos Marc. I wasn't going to look at the twist, but I'm glad I did now.

Not sure if bringing those two back is needed. Anyway I'll wait till I see the first ep before I make my mind up about it.

BBfanUSA 16-01-2011 11:20 PM

Actually I shoulda seen this coming because of the fact that There was a part in the HvV finale that Russell was suggesting that there woul be a game involving Boston Rob vs Russell

BB4LIFE_SD 17-01-2011 03:24 AM

I'd rather see Boston Rob than Russell. That's just me.

Macie Lightfoot 17-01-2011 04:51 PM

Russell will never, ever win Survivor. That's a fact.

iRyan 17-01-2011 05:58 PM

Bleh, alot of generic looking people on this cast.

Not to mention.
Matt = Fabio wannabe
Francesca = NaOnka wannabe

Matt "I think people will think im the dumb blonde surfer dude"
Francesca "I can be a mean girl and terrorize people"

There are ton of other people that are too similar to past contestants as well. They should be looking for new personalities, not casting people of the same type season after season.

iRyan 17-01-2011 06:07 PM

OMG, I watched all 3 of the blonde girls videos and they all say "I grew up on a farm"

Seriously CBS?

To be fair, I think they cast seasons 21 & 22 at the same time. :p Although that doesn't excuse the lazy casting whatsoever.

Captain.Remy 17-01-2011 06:41 PM

I agree with the above comments, this new cast looks lame as hell :(

Hopefully Russell brings entertainment.

BB4LIFE_SD 18-01-2011 12:35 AM

Russell will make things entertaining, that much is for sure. Same can be said for Rob.

LemonJam 06-02-2011 02:27 PM

10 days til the premier. I'm barely excited tbh.

Braden 06-02-2011 02:32 PM

I don't think i'm gonna watch this tbh. I stopped watching halfway through on both season 21 & season 22, so I think i'm just going to give up. There's been no hype what so ever and it all looks boring.
